We know all too well about the politics and the aversion to change that makes our work prickly and thwarts sustainability – look at Borders and Kodak for starters. As for the “shadow processes” aka known as the 20% unknown or the unstructured processes, PaaS maybe a solution, albeit capturing those steps involved in the value stream would be more valuable to the organization, structured as Case Management, capturing the process as BPM PaaS would be a better approach.

Getting and keeping the knowledge worker involved as the SME while the Practitioner facilitates the process against the goals of the organization is a winning game strategy.
